I've been doing some research on the Midland - MXT400 GMRS radio, and have questions about it.
1) It claims to put out 40 watts of power some who have put a meter on it claims it only puts out 35 watts. Which is correct?
2) I know GMRS is line of sight, with that being said, used as a base unit with a 6dB Gain Antenna mounted on a 20 foot TV antenna tower what kind of range should one expect to a:
A) MicroMobile type radio ( IE: MXT-105, 115, or 400 )?
or
B) Handheld GMRS radios such as the GXT1000VP4 ?
3) Does it have NOAA Weather channels? ( I've read some reviews that say it does and some say it doesn't.)
4) What type of a external power supply unit would be recommended to use the 35/40 watts capability?
